If you are unable to perform your duties without driving then you could be on sticky ground. As CK and Ruth say, check your contract of employment and it should say clearly in there whether it is or not. As to restricitive employment contracts it is debateable whether these are enforceable or not as they can be construed as too restrictive by the court on the individual, but it is a matter of interpretation. Being instrumental in the growth fo the company could sway things in your favour, and if you have, and areimportant to the future of the business surely the employer would want to keep you!!! I'd possibly be asking some questions as to what the real reason for these warnings are. I know that dismissal procedures changed from 1st October, so these may be in line with these. I'm no lawyer, but it may be worth investing a little time with one, but make sure that they know about employment law!!
